4.16.15 - Texas Chrisian recruit, currently ranked No. 3 in Illinois’ 2016 class, No. 12 in overall rankings. Physically impressive 6-foot-1, 200-pound athlete, proportional strength, developed lower half. First extended start of spring, facing off against former high school team, Carmel. Consistently sat 88-89 mph with his fastball through the first three innings; 87-89 in the fourth and 85-88 in the fifth (he also closed out game the day before in win over Libertyville). Showed full repertoire of pitches during outing – curveball, slider and changeup. Showed significant confidence in curveball, throwing it in any count, including notching three strikeouts on 3-2 curveballs. Also threw a wicked 82-mph slider in 3-2 count to record a strikeout in first inning. Impressed by changing speeds with curveball; throwing some at 68-70 with more 12/6 shape; others he threw more aggressively at 72-74 with more 11/5 break. … Slider has potential to be big swing-and-miss pitch in future. Throws pitch aggressively in 81-83 range with late two-plane action. Showed changeup early but didn’t need it. Threw consistent strikes through four innings and was around the plate with everything. Didn’t issue a walk in first four innings, but lost command in fifth, walking five before leaving the game. Final line: seven strikeouts, four hits and three earned runs in 4.2 innings. … Offensively, a switch-hitter who hit exclusively from left side in four at-bats. Finished 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Also lined out to the right fielder. With the game tied 2-2 in the fifth, Coughlin laced a two-out opposite-field single to left-center on pitch on outer half. Also turned on fastball for run-scoring double down left-field line.
4.15.15 - Texas Chrisian recruit, currently ranked No. 3 in Illinois’ 2016 class, No. 12 in overall rankings. Physically impressive 6-foot-1, 200-pound athlete, proportional strength, developed lower half. Will play 3B at next level, but starts at SS for Lake Forest. Defensively, jumps off field with his plus arm strength (88 across infield), athletic arm and hands. Offensively, is a switch-hitter with juice from both sides of the plate (98 exit velocity from right side; 91 exit velocity from left side at PBR Preseason All-State Showcase). In game, showed relaxed, advanced approach from both sides. Tracks pitches well and didn’t chase pitches out of the zone. Had three of the hardest hit balls of the game with nothing to show for it. From the right side, he squared up two balls to centerfield, one which was robbed on a diving catch. From the left side, hit a laser to third base that was snagged. Also walked and scored a run. Didn’t pitch in game, but was 90-93 at the Preseason All-State Showcase in February.
2.15.15 - 6-foot-1, 200-pound, physically strong switch-hitting 3B/RHP committed to Texas Christian impressed with electric stuff on the mound at the Preseason All-State Showcase, while also showing three-pitch feel. Coughlin sat 90-92 mph, touching 93 mph from a short, quick, high ¾ arm slot. Some effort present in delivery, slight drop-and-drive, utilizes legs extremely well, shoulders stay level throughout delivery, close off as lower half coils/loads over the rubber well, lower half stride direction is in line with home plate, lands square. Fastball jumps late, explodes through the zone with riding action. Power slider, breaks late, short, 11/5 shape, features depth in 83-85 mph range, plus pitch right now. Coughlin’s power fastball/slider combination at the event would fit into the backend of a collegiate bullpen immediately. Also threw strikes with a 77-78 mph changeup with sinking action. Three-pitch feel would give him a starter’s profile at the next level, if not for his two-way talent. Coughlin would be a top rated prospect if he was only a pitcher, but his switch-hitting power profile at third base may be his calling at higher levels. Registered 98 mph exit velocity from the right side, 91 mph exit velocity from the left side. Short, compact, level swing with extension from both sides, very similar approach. Left-handed may be a bit more fluid, shorter stride from the left side, more of a no stride/toe turn approach. Right-handed may have more strength in swing, a bit longer stride, more pull approach from the right side. Hands work quietly from both sides, minimal load. Potential to hit for average and power from both sides. Defensively, threw 88 mph across the diamond, power arm is definitely an asset, also showcases soft hands fielding the baseball, could play shortstop at the high school level. Ran a 7.23 60 yard dash. Coughlin is one of the top prospects in the 2016 class and should see draft interest come the spring of 2016.
6/14/12 Coughlin is an extremely projectable 5-foot-10, 160-pound multi-positional talent who will be entering high school this fall. Coughlin continues to impress with his all-around skills that are playable at any varsity level. Defensively, Coughlin showcased soft hands at third base, playing through the ball well. His feet work extremely well laterally, and his throws were clocked at 78 mph across the diamond. Coughlin was equally impressive on the mound, working from a high ¾ arm slot and throwing all four of his pitches with confidence. His fastball, which sat at 83-85 mph range, displayed late sink and commanded it down in the zone. His 62-64 mph curveball had sharp, late movement, while his 73 mph changeup demonstrated fade. His fourth pitch is a cutter that sat at 71-72 mph. At the plate, Coughlin is an advanced switch-hitter who can swing the bat with authority from both sides of the plate. He has a short, compact swing and power potential from both sides. Overall, Coughlin looks to be the premier prospect in the Class of 2016.
